Today

Bangladesh
is
going

join
this
club
as
the
33rd
country
by
receiving
fuel
uranium
for
the
first
unit
of
the

The

has
already
been
declared
suitable
for
the
use
of
uranium
by
the
Russian

and
the
international
organizations
in
this
sector.
In
this
context,
on
September
28,
Russia
sent
168
TPS

bundles,
each
weighing
7.5
kg)
to
the
country.
Today
Thursday
(October
5)
the
country
will
hand
over
the
special
certificate
and
operating
model
to
the
Rooppur
Nuclear
Power
Plant,
which
is
called
'Hands

On
this
day,
the
Director
General
of
Russian
Atomic

Corporation
Rosatom,
Alexey

will
hand
over
this
certificate
and

to
the
Minister
of
Science
and
Technology
Ministry
of

Project
Ekala
Pabna.
Bangladesh
Prime

and
Russian
Federation
President

will
address
the
handover
ceremony
virtually.
Science
and
Technology
Minister
Yafes
Osman
inspected
the
preparations
for
the
event
on
Wednesday
(October
4).
At
that
time,
the
minister
said,
"From
the
beginning
of
2025,
the
people
of
Bangladesh
will
get
the
benefits
of
the
nuclear
power
being
produced
at
Ruppur.
This
plant
will
contribute
2
percent
to
the
country's
GDP."
A
total
of
2,400
MW
of
electricity
will
be
available
from
the
two
units
of
Rooppur
with
1,200
MW.
This
fuel
for
Rooppur
is
coming
from
Russia.
These
uranium
are
prepared
in
Novosibirsk
factory
located
in
the
Siberian
region
of
Russia.
According
to
the
contract,
Russia
will
supply
it
during
Rooppur's
lifetime
(80
years).
However,
the
country
will
supply
this
fuel
for
free
for
the
first
three
years.
According
to
the
design
of
the
power
plant,
the
fuel
will
be
imported
from
Russia
throughout
the
period.
For
this
reason,
the
price
of
uranium
has
been
determined
through
another
agreement.
